The research aims to leverage advances in wearable sensing and telemetric technology to...
This federal Project Grant award of $604,082 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) aims to investigate the use of psyllium fiber to mitigate fructan-induced gastrointestinal symptoms in children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The study, led by Duke University, will first identify children with IBS who are fructan-sensitive, then conduct a double-blind...
This $475,605 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant aims to definitively evaluate gastric dysrhythmia as a disease mechanism underlying functional dyspepsia and chronic nausea/vomiting syndromes, which affect over 10% of the population. The project will apply a novel non-invasive diagnostic approach called Body...

The...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) totaling $196,940 will support a 5-year study to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 9-week phone-based positive psychology intervention (PPI) for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The project, led by Dr. Elizabeth Madva at the Massachusetts General Hospital, will also explore potential gut-brain mechanisms by which the PPI may impact IBS symptoms and identify facilitators and barriers to implementing such behavioral interventions in diverse gastroenterology clinical settings. This innovative study represents the first examination of a PPI for IBS and incorporates implementation science principles early in the behavioral treatment development process. The findings will inform the preparation of a future R01 application to conduct a larger-scale efficacy trial of this novel PPI for IBS.
